    >> Houghton Miffin Interactive is sponsoring a message drive that will
    >> raise books for children hospitalized this Christmas.  For every 25
    >> messages received, they will donate one book to a children's hospital.
    >> I think this is a worthy cause, and it only takes a minute to contribute
    >> your message.  Here's what HMI says about it:
    >>
    >> "In The Polar Express, following a magical train ride to the North Pole,
    >> a young boy discovers that only those willing to believe can hear the
    >> sound of the sleigh bell Santa Claus has given him. The campaign
    >> translates the book's sense of wonder and message of faith into an
    >> invitation to help children who can't be home during the holidays."
    >>
    >> "To participate all you need is a free minute or two to post a message
    >> on this site and, like the young boy in The Polar Express, the
    >> willingness to truly believe in the spirit of the season. For every 25
    >> messages received, HMI will donate a copy of The Polar Express or
    >> another children's book to a children's hospital."
    >>
    >> "Our goal this year is to receive 50,000 messages, TWICE the goal we set
    >> in 1995. So join the campaign, share the spirit and pass this URL along
    >> to anyone else who's willing to share!"
    >>
    >> The URL is http://www.polarexpress.com  Please send a message to them,
    >> and send a copy of this message to anyone else who might like to donate
    >> a message.
